7. Go to a hockey game

Even if she’s not into sports, everyone enjoys live, fast-paced action mixed with violence and brutality. If you’re not a puck-head, look up the rules online before you go. That way, you’ll look knowledgeable when the action suddenly stops and there’s a face-off in the corner. If there’s not an NHL team in your area, look for minor league, college or even high school teams. The money you save on tickets can be used to buy bullhorns and oversize foam hands, plus the game will still look vicious for a novice viewer. This winter date also sets up your next rendezvous perfectly: building a fire and watching the Paul Newman classic Slap Shot together.
